Why bump an old post? Even still the Virgin SIMO is double the cost of any of the above deals with capped data speeds and restrictive limitations.

Seems more like you just wanted people to click the link.

Well, I'm glad this old thread has been resurrected, because I am in almost exactly the same situation as the OP.

iPhone 4S (but on EE network). Still got a short contract period to go. Phone now unlocked -EE nightmare - but that's another story.

Am comparing GiffGaff and Virgin Mobile.

The Virgin £7 SIM would have been unbeatable if calls from Virgin Mobile to Virgin Landline were free. Unsure of the 30 day rolling contract - I can opt out at any time, but would need to contact on e of their 'overseas' call centres to stop the contract.

GiffGaff, not quite so competitive as Virgin on the face of it, but I like the fact that I have to proactively top up every month to keep the service, rather than have to be proactive in getting out, if that makes sense.

BTW, already have a Giffgaff sim at home - needed something to check my phone was unlocked. How long a shelf life does the sim have before activation?
